Buko (Young Coconut) Pie
Buko pie is a Filipino dessert crafted from the tender flesh of a young coconut (buko). As the coconut flesh hasn't hardened, it results in an exceptionally creamy custard.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh young coconut, drained with meat removed and chopped
- 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place chopped coconut into a large bowl; stir in evaporated milk, condensed milk, beaten eggs, sugar, and salt. Pour mixture into a round 3-quart baking dish. Place the baking dish into a large roasting pan. Fill the pan with water to about halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
- Carefully place the pan into the preheated oven; bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
